This is the newly updated 6th edition of the Ruby on Rails Tutorial, now updated for Rails 6.

Over the years, HN readers have been some of the most enthusiastic and loyal supporters of the Ruby on Rails Tutorial. Thanks—I appreciate it!

I’ve enjoyed reading many editions of Rails Tutorial, which is among the few technical documents I consider fun to read. A worthwhile read, even for people not working with Rails.

And extremely cool you’ve kept Rails Tutorial current all these years!

Does the Rails Tutorial 6 discuss the rgeo gem (for GIS/location features)? https://github.com/rgeo/rgeo

While Rails docs tend to be clearer, GeoDjango is one area where Django seems to have relatively more accessible documentation. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/contrib/gis/
